Gary Jordan: Houston, We Have a Podcast.
Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center, episode 20, Special Delivery
I'm Gary Jordan, and I'll be your cohost today, along with Matt Buffington, director of public
affairs at NASA's Ames Research Center in California, and the host of NASA in Silicon
Valley Podcast.
Matt, what's up?
Matthew Buffington: Hey Gary, we're doing great, so glad we could team up on this.
This is also concurrently episode 69 for the NASA in Silicon Valley Podcast.
There's a ton of overlap between our listeners, so I'm really glad we were able to make this
happen.
Gary Jordan: Yeah, me too.
Today is a very special episode, because we're teaming up with NASA in Silicon Valley Podcast
to talk about some of the things we can find in a cargo vehicle when it's shipped to space,
which is perfect because SpaceX will be sending its Dragon Cargo Vehicle to the International
Space Station here soon.
So, who do we have from Ames, Matt?
Matthew Buffington: Over here we're bringing in Dennis Leveson-Gower.
He's a project scientist here over at Ames, and has tons of experience working on cargo,
working on payloads, and sending them on up to the space station.
How about over there in Houston?
Gary Jordan: We'll have Shane Kimbrough.
He's a NASA astronaut who recently spent about six months on the space station and landed
earlier this year.
We've actually had him on the podcast to talk about his landing experience back in episode
three.
But while he was up there, he had quite a few cargo vehicles visit the station.
He had the SpaceX Dragon, Orbital ATK Cygnus, Japanese HTV, and the Russian Progress all
within his six-month stay aboard the station.
So, it's fair to say he knows what cargo on station is all about.
He performed hundreds of experiments with the science that was delivered on some of
those vehicles, and even got some fresh food, so I'm excited to ask him about that experience.
Matthew Buffington: Awesome.
I'm really excited to get the different perspective on both the science, on the space station,
so we can see the astronaut's point of view, and the people who actually design those experiments.
Gary Jordan: Yeah, this is going to be a good episode.
So, with no further delay, let's go light speed and jump right ahead to our talk with
Shane Kimbrough and Dennis Leveson-Gower. Enjoy.
Okay, all right, it looks like we're all connected, ready to go.
How about this, Houston We Have a Podcast and NASA Silicon Valley combined?
Matthew Buffington: Yeah, this is going to be sweet.
Gary Jordan: Sweet, I know, I'm pumped.
And we're doing this remotely, so here in Houston, I'm in the studio with NASA astronaut
and no stranger to Houston We Have a Podcast, Shane Kimbrough.
Shane, thanks for being here.
Shane Kimbrough: Hey, great to be here.
Gary Jordan: Cool, and how about over at Ames, Matt, who do you have?
Matthew Buffington: I'm sitting over here with my buddy Dennis Leveson-Gower.
We actually go way back from SpaceX 8, was it Dennis?
Dennis Leveson-Gower: That's right.
Matthew Buffington: I always remember it because it was the first time SpaceX had launched
a rocket and landed it on a barge.
And Dennis was nice enough as I drove him back and forth from his office to do press
interviews and stuff.
Gary Jordan: Nice enough indeed.
Matthew Buffington: Exactly.
I always like to start our podcast with the question of, how did you
get to NASA, how did you end up in Silicon Valley.
I definitely want to hear about that from Shane as well, but let's start off with Dennis.
So tell us about, how did you end up at NASA?
Dennis Leveson-Gower: I really ended up here by accident.
I was set to be a professor, discover things, have graduate students.
I did a Ph.D. in biochemistry.
Then I went to Stanford for a post-doctoral fellow doing bone marrow transplantation,
graft vs. host disease, immunology.
And slowly over the years, I thought, I'm going to go to industry.
I'm not going to do the academic track anymore.
It was a slow evolution.
So I was out there, had my resume posted on job sites and stuff, looking around.
Just got an email saying, are you interested in a position at NASA Ames?
And I'm like, this is spam.
I don't know anything about rockets, I'm not an engineer.
I'm a biologist.
So, talked to my wife.
She's like, you have to apply, it's NASA.
So I thought, all right, at least I can go and see the base and look around, because
I saw it on the side of the highway, so I knew there was some NASA thing here.
And yeah, it was when I talked to the hiring manager, she really convinced me this was
a really cool opportunity.
Got me into a different head space of not just doing basic research, but doing applied
research, and working with a whole different cadre of engineers and operations and safety.
And I don't know, it just really appealed to me, so I took a chance and took the job.
Matthew Buffington: That's pretty awesome.
I always say, when people think of NASA, they think of rockets and telescopes.
Biology is a huge part of that.
Speaking of biology, sometimes we have humans up in space.
Gary Jordan: Excellent segue.
All right, Shane, how about you?
How did you become an astronaut?
Shane Kimbrough: I came -- there's several obviously avenues to be an astronaut.
I came through the military.
I was an Army officer, Apache pilot my whole Army career.
I took a little detour toward the end of I would say my conventional Army career when
I went to graduate school at Georgia Tech, and then I went to teach math at West Point
for a few years.
And then from there, I was called to come work down at Johnson Space Center for a few
years.
I had applied to be an astronaut that year, didn't get selected.
But the good news was, I was I guess somewhat in the highly qualified category, so the Army
detachment down here asked me to come down here and work for a few years.
And that was to really get ready for the 2002 astronaut selection.
Guess what, that selection never happened.
So, we went through the whole thing, interviews and everything, and it never happened.
Congress decided they didn't need a class that year.
So, we hung around for another couple years, which in a way was somewhat rolling the dice
on my Army career.
But my wife and I felt it was where we wanted to be and what we wanted to do, so stuck around,
and was lucky enough to get selected in 2004.
Gary Jordan: Lucky and persistent enough.
Shane Kimbrough: Yeah, persistence is a big trait, I think.
It was my fourth time to apply.
Matthew Buffington: I was going to say, isn't that normal for astronauts?
Because we had Steve Smith a while back on our podcast, and I think he had applied three
or four times as well.
Shane Kimbrough: Yeah, I think at least it used to be the norm.
A lot of times these days, at least in the last couple classes, we've had a lot of first-timers.
But yeah, for folks a little older like myself, I think three or four times is pretty normal.
Gary Jordan: I remember talking with the 2017 class, and a couple of them applied multiple
times.
I know for sure Raja Chari did, but you're right, a couple of them are first-timers.
But then you've got folks like Clay Anderson, who applied like, what, eight or nine times
or something?
So yeah, right.
Shane Kimbrough: Persistence.
Gary Jordan: Exactly, persistence, and it works out too.
This is perfect, to combine forces for the podcast today -- Houston We Have a Podcast
and NASA in Silicon Valley -- because today's topic is cargo, and cargo going to the International
Space Station.
And Shane, I feel like you're the perfect person to have on the podcast today, because
you've seen your fair share of cargo vehicles on your last mission, right?
Shane Kimbrough: Yeah, we saw everything, and we saw Cygnus twice.
We had a lot of vehicles coming and going.
And really cargo, when you think about it, it's the way we handle the logistics problem
on the space station.
It's a big logistics problem, if you think about it, to get equipment and clothes and
food and experiments to that orbiting laboratory.
So, how do we do that?
We used to do it with the space shuttle.
It was nice and easy, it could haul a bunch of stuff.
Now, we can't do that, so we have these cargo vehicles you're talking about.
Gary Jordan: That's right, because on your way to the space station, you can bring stuff,
but now you need stuff delivered.
It's a huge complex.
It's the size of a five-bedroom house, it needs stuff -- food, supplies, all that kind
of things.
Matthew Buffington: That's one of the funny things as we were coming in, especially as
we're getting closer for the SpaceX 13 launch coming into it.
We see there's the both sides -- there's the people up at the space station working on
receiving the cargo or even science experiments, but also on the flipside of, how do you get
that stuff prepared?
That is a feat in and of itself.
Gary Jordan: That's true.
So Dennis, what do you have to do to prepare stuff to go on cargo missions?
Dennis Leveson-Gower: That's a big question, because I mean, it really starts one to two
years ahead of the launch, if you think about it, or more, because after you have an experiment
defined, you've got to prepare exactly what the science requirements are, then you've
got to start making a plan, then you've got to start assessing what the hardware needs
are, and the kits' needs are, then you have to design those, then they have to get through
safety, you have to plan operations, you have to plan how everything's going to be labelled.
And then, usually I think somewhere between three and six months before a launch is when
we're going to actually have things prepared, off-gassed, tested, H-fit, label committee,
all those things, and do the early load.
And then we start preparing the late load chemicals and perishables that have to be
loaded 25 hours before launch.
And we do that out at Kennedy Space Center for SpaceX launch, anyways.
So, there's a whole experiment development cycle that happens, and that's just for one
payload.
And if we have five or six payloads from Ames coming out, that's a lot of work from a lot
of people to send a box of something.
Matthew Buffington: It takes a village for it, gathering all that stuff up.
But I'm always curious on your guys' side, Shane, for you guys, when you receive this
cargo, how exactly does that happen, or how does that work?
Like, you're unpacking a trunk from a trip?
Shane Kimbrough: No, we're always excited to open up the hatch and get new stuff.
It's kind of like Christmas every time we get one of these vehicles up there.
But the way we go about unpacking is very organized, and it has to be that way.
We have a great team on the ground that gets us ready and prepared with all kind of documents,
and keeps us organized with charts and things on how they want it to be unpacked.
And so, we follow that religiously.
We'll have somebody in the crew is going to be called the loadmaster, and that person's
responsible for that vehicle.
If we just start pulling things out and stowing things where we want to stow them, that's
not the way it's going to be, because we'll never find that stuff.
We really have to be disciplined, and put things where they're supposed to go.
A lot of times, that means we'll take one bag out, and the bag will have 100 different
items in it.
And we have to go put those 100 things somewhere.
So, it's not as easy as pulling a bag out and stuffing it somewhere.
Sometimes it is, but most of the time it's not.
So, we've really got to make sure we're all helping each other out.
And it's always better to, as I've found with all these cargo ops, to do it as a team versus
doing it individually.
You're much more efficient, and you can have one person reading the book, keeping control
of everything, and the other couple people running things around.
And that really worked well for us.
Gary Jordan: So, everything has an order and a destination, right?
You've got to unload this first, and put it in this location, and it's all scheduled that
way.
How long does it take you to unload completely?
Shane Kimbrough: I think we actually set some records for unloading vehicles the quickest,
which is a good thing I guess.
But, we really -- and we did it by working together as a team.
And that's the only way.
Thomas [Pesquet] and Peggy [Whitson] and I would knock out a vehicle, no kidding, in
a day and a half or two.
But, that's pretty unusual.
That was kind of if it happened to show up just before a weekend, we used the weekend
to do it, so it was a freebie.
Where if they had it just playing out during a normal week, it would take a week to two
weeks sometimes depending on the vehicle to get it unloaded.
Gary Jordan: That's right, because you've got to fit it with everything else you're
doing.
Wow, amazing.
Matthew Buffington: Yeah, and a lot of that, I'd imagine it's already complicated enough,
and I'm sure it's crazy complicated even just within NASA, but then you start throwing in
all these private companies and different groups.
Is everybody, how do you keep -- maybe you guys could talk about, how do you keep everybody
on the same page on how things get prepared.
Because Dennis, you're preparing this stuff for these companies, but then . . .
Dennis Leveson-Gower: I think they all go through NASA.
You'll have private hardware developers, but the manifest is controlled through NASA, and
the crew procedures are controlled through NASA.
Shane, correct me if I'm wrong, but at some certain point has to be layered into the controlled
process of NASA, even if it's like -- so, you could think of it as NASA buying things
from different vendors, but they'll manage how it goes up, or they'll manage it through
SpaceX how it goes up.
Shane Kimbrough: Totally agree.
We saw differences, of course, because the vehicles are all different inside, so the
way they, location coding is all different, and where things might be on one is different
than another.
That's the only difference, but bottom line is, you're going to get a bag, you're going
to take it somewhere, you're going to take it apart, and take those things somewhere.
And if we keep it pretty simple like that, it made it easier on the crew.
Gary Jordan: Definitely.
You're the pro mover when it comes to cargo missions.
Shane Kimbrough: I'm going to get a reputation here.
Gary Jordan: So what are some of the main differences, then, in terms of, Dennis, on
your end, for qualifications, and we can start with that -- what's the difference to get
it on that vehicle?
But then Shane, for unpacking it, some of those little tiny things?
Dennis Leveson-Gower: The biggest thing for us is always safety.
We go to great lengths to try to have chemicals that will not interfere with the life support
system, that won't be toxic to the crew if they're spilled.
Everything that has a tox level will have certain levels of containers and containment
that have to be layered onto how it's packaged and how it's stored.
Then, we have human factors.
We have to make sure that the 5 percent Japanese female and the 5 percent American male can
handle the things.
And then, even right before it's loaded, there's an expert that comes in with gloves on and
feels everything, to make sure there's no sharp edges on anything, and that it's not
going to hurt anybody when they start pulling them out of the packages.
That's what I've seen on my end, big picture.
Shane Kimbrough: I'd say from our end, it's very similar, like I mentioned before.
But there are some things.
Every vehicle that gets there, there's some critical items that need to come off first.
And we're well aware of what those are, based on the ground team prepping us for that.
And most of the time, those are delicate experiments or things like that that have to come off,
or are time-sensitive.
We'll obviously hit those first, and then after that we'll follow the script that the
ground lays out for us, so that we're all on the same sheet of music, and everybody
knows what's going on.
Even if we're doing it in our spare time, where the ground control team might not be
following, we can update them with, hey, we did sections two, three, and four, whatever
it was, and they'll be caught back up with us when they get back on console.
Gary Jordan: Yeah, like if you're doing it on a weekend or something.
Sweet.
So, what's an example of time-critical, since you unpacked so many vehicles, what's an example
of a time-critical experiment you had to unpack?
Shane Kimbrough: We had some rodents onboard, so that was one thing we had to get off.
Those are always time-critical, just to get them setup in their habitations on the space
station.
That's one.
I think some that just showed up today actually on the space station were things like pizza
and ice cream.
If you get things like that, those are time-critical, because you need to eat those quickly.
Anyway, there's plenty of different, a wide range there I gave you from rodents to ice
cream.
Matthew Buffington: And I have to chime in on that, because this isn't just the sad,
dehydrated stuff you buy at the museum.
This is a legit pizza.
Shane Kimbrough: This is the real deal, apparently.
It's the first time I've heard of a pizza delivery going to the space station, so whatever
company got that is going . . .
Matthew Buffington: 30 minutes or less.
Dennis Leveson-Gower: It's not going to be the best pizza, but it'll probably taste good
to you guys.
Shane Kimbrough: Ice cream's legit, though.
Of course, we didn't have any when I was there, but shortly after I left, they got some, and
they're getting some today.
Gary Jordan: They waited until right after you left?
Oh, man.
Shane Kimbrough: Apparently so.
Dennis Leveson-Gower: After SpaceX 8 launched, all the guys on the ground at KSC had all
these Klondike bars filling the freezer.
And I'm like, where did these come from?
And they go, the CMC team, the cargo team, when they were packing all the cold stowage,
if there's any empty areas in the freezers, they start stuffing ice cream bars in there,
as a surprise for the crew.
So, we have extra boxes of Klondike bars.
Shane Kimbrough: Always a welcome treat.
Matthew Buffington: But, when you're unpacking during this, are you in constant contact with
the ground, and they're walking you through it, or it's just a mix of sometimes you are,
sometimes you guys get your to-do list and you make it happen and update them later on?
Shane Kimbrough: Yeah, we have a couple meetings beforehand, of course, before the vehicle
gets there, and there's a whole choreography they want us to do, and the order they want
us to do it in.
And so, we're disciplined and follow that to the T. A lot of times we'd have questions,
or something wouldn't be where it was supposed to be, and that's where we'd call down real
quickly and touch base with whoever was on console for that, so that we weren't getting
out of their choreography, even if something wasn't there.
But they were always there if we needed them.
Usually, we would just tag up at the end of a day, end of a cargo day, and make sure to
tell them exactly what we did so they were up to speed on everything.
Gary Jordan: I don't know if you got any Klondike bars.
Was there any missions that gave you some nice treats?
Shane Kimbrough: I think almost every vehicle had care packages from our families onboard.
Those are always a surprise, so that was kind of cool.
We didn't get any ice cream, but we got a lot of fresh fruit, and that was kind of cool.
That's another thing I think they hold onto, and if there's any extra space they'll cram
them in there.
But, some apples and oranges and things like that were really delicious after not having
them for quite a while.
Gary Jordan: I was going to say, definitely a treat compared to -- it's fresh, it's literally
fresh.
Shane Kimbrough: We ate those really quickly.
Gary Jordan: You kind of have to.
Shane Kimbrough: Yeah, don't want them to go bad.
Matthew Buffington: I'm wondering, if you get into the coordination that's needed, and
even thinking on the side when, we have researchers, scientists who are creating science experiments,
it's hard enough doing it in a lab on your own.
And so, when people are -- I'm wondering, Dennis, from your perspective as people design
and put these experiments together, but then Dennis -- or, Shane, on your side, actually
conducting these things.
Talk a little about that, what goes into making an experiment for someone else to do, and
your instructions on how to do it?
It seems very complicated.
I'm looking at you, Dennis.
Dennis Leveson-Gower: Okay, what I'll receive is basically a grant proposal that had a very
high science score from a panel of reviewers.
And then I'll start looking at it and saying, can we actually do this in space?
Because, crew time is very precious.
You cannot do things as quickly in space as you can on the ground.
We add a 1.4 margin of how long it would take us on earth, at a minimum.
It's all got to be done in a self-contained glove box volume.
And, I start working to make little tweaks and adjustments -- like I said, can we replace
this chemical with a nontoxic one?
Can we simplify this procedure?
What's the tolerance of the timeline?
Because, if they have to do an EVA, we can't have a time-critical part of our experiment
at the same time they've got to be outside the station.
So, we start looking at every single factor, and it takes month to organize that.
But then, eventually we get that down into a set of crew procedures, just like written,
step-by-step, everything to do, and it should be simple as possible, even though these astronauts
are super well trained and super smart.
We make these super simple documents to send them.
It's kind of funny.
And then the training happens at JSC, where an experienced scientist will go and work
with the astronauts, and make a fighter pilot into a biologist.
And then we send everything up.
And then on my end, we're sitting in a control room watching a live video of the astronauts.
It's very cool.
And, talking to them.
And usually, there's one designated person with the best speaking voice talking, and
then there's five people in the room behind them with total chaos, yelling it's storage
locker 5B, 6-Alpha, and they go, storage locker 5-6-B-Alpha.
And then, we just are in their ear, pretty much, walking them through what we need them
to do.
I know there's simpler payloads, where I think Shane would say you just follow written instruction,
but for some of the more complicated things, we're actually talking to them, walking them
through it.
Shane Kimbrough: Yeah, it's very helpful to have Dennis and his team there talking to
us.
These scientists in general have spent many years creating whatever the experiment is.
The last thing we want to do is mess it up, or mess up any of their data.
So, we want to be very careful in all that whole process Dennis explained about getting
the experiment approved and then what he's got to do to get it in a crew procedure.
That takes a lot of people a lot of time.
And so, by the time it gets to us, it's pretty well refined.
It's not perfect, because I haven't seen that procedure, and I might read something differently
than Dennis would read it.
So, it is so nice to have them on the horn, so to speak, right there talking to us in
case we have any questions, so we don't mess up any of the experiment or any of the data.
Gary Jordan: That's true.
And then off of Dennis' point of making them as simple as possible, a lot of it has to
do with the fact that, you're right, these scientists spend so much time getting these
procedures ready for this experiment, but that's not the only one you're doing.
You are doing quite a few experiments.
Shane Kimbrough: Very true, and in general, we're not trained on all these.
We're trained generically on experiments.
Like Dennis alluded to, making a pilot a biologist for a day.
I was lucky enough to have Peggy there, who is a biologist, so she could help me understand
something that normally I wouldn't understand, because it's not in my background.
But Dennis and his team can get some really complicated experiment into a procedure that's
simple, like he said, so that even I can understand it.
That's pretty good.
Gary Jordan: So, what else do you have to train for, besides the scientific experiments?
Because Dennis also talked about, you have to train for EVAs, and on this last mission
you did four, so that's quite a big chunk of time that takes away from science.
And then you've got to train for unloading cargo vehicles.
What else are you training for?
Shane Kimbrough: Those are the big ones.
Of course, the cargo vehicles when they come up, we actually use the robotic arm to grab
them, to capture them.
So, a lot of our training is with the robotics team to make sure we do that operation successfully.
Grabbing something that's going 17,500 miles an hour is not trivial.
But, with our training, we always train of course for the worst-case scenarios, and the
vehicles, at least when I was there, behaved very well.
It seemed like it was simple, even though the stress is pretty high, the gains are up,
because it's a real vehicle and you want to make sure we grab this thing and get it onboard.
So, that's another piece of our training we do.
What else?
Those are the big-ticket items.
Operationally, EVAs, like you talked about, robotics, when we're capturing these vehicles,
and most of the other time we're doing experiments.
That makes up most of our days onboard the space station.
Gary Jordan: Yeah.
Was it different to use the robotic arm to capture the different vehicles, or did it
translate pretty well?
Shane Kimbrough: There are differences certainly with every vehicle.
So, we had Cygnus, we had SpaceX, we had HTV from Japan, and we had a Russian vehicle,
but that one docks automatically, so we didn't have to reach out with the robotic arm to
grab that one.
But, there are several differences, and the cues you use are different for every vehicle.
Again, we get spun up by our training team a week or two prior to each vehicle showing
up, so we remember you're looking here, not here, based on whatever the vehicle was, and
using certain cues to help get the vehicle onboard.
Matthew Buffington: I'd imagine no matter how much you train on that, and I'm sure there's
simulations and different things of remoting the giant robotic arm, I imagine once you're
doing that for the first time, it's got to be nerve-wracking, because you're like, this
is a very expensive toy, I don't want to mess this up.
Shane Kimbrough: Yeah, it was on the first time.
And again, we got several opportunities, so I won't say it became less important, but
you got more comfortable with it.
But, it is a big deal.
And I really wanted Tomas, the French astronaut I was flying with, to get a lot of experiment.
So, when we were together, I grabbed the first one, and after that I let him grab all the
other ones, to get his experience level up.
And he'll go fly again here in a few years, hopefully, and be able to use all that experience
to help his crewmates out when he's onboard.
Gary Jordan: Definitely.
When you're training to capture these things, like Matt was saying, when you're in the real
thing, it's a little bit different, but the training, I've seen it before.
It's pretty detailed.
There's a projection of, it's like a, I don't know, describe the training.
Shane Kimbrough: We have this, we call it a dome facility, because that's what it is,
and the graphics are just fantastic.
And it gives you the sense of speed in which things are coming together, and the rates that
you're coming are very good.
But, it's just not the real thing.
It's like our pool.
Our pool is amazing to train for space walks, but it's not the real thing.
There are differences.
And until you get up there -- and now, we're in the Kupla, we're flying almost all of
these out of the Kupla, which maybe think about you're upside down flying it, so spatially
you've got to get your head around where are the arms moving even though you're upside
down, those kind of things.
It's not super simple until you actually get up there and do it a few times, and then it
becomes a little bit easier on the mind.
Gary Jordan: I can see why they would put you through the training for it, because there's
a lot to think about, just being upside down, using the controls, controlling something
from a Cupola, but then the arm's over here, I guess.
Shane Kimbrough: Right.
So, it's not necessarily right out your window.
It is in this case when you're in the Kupla, but you could fly it from the lab as well,
and you wouldn't have any windows and you'd just be using cameras.
That's what we used to do.
That's what we did on my first flight.
So, things have gotten a lot better in that regard.
Gary Jordan: I'm sure they write these procedures to be as easy as possible, so Dennis, what
are some of the techniques you do whenever you're writing these scientific procedures
for the astronauts to make it as easy as possible for them?
Dennis Leveson-Gower: Yeah, I mean, we try to boil it down to step-by-step, but also
add in some rationale for why you're doing it a certain way, so they don't have to memorize
the exact step, but they can know what the end goal is and why they're doing it, so they
know I should make sure I keep this cold, or I should make sure I handle this gently.
And then hopefully, that helps.
But I find that most of the time, it boils down to, we have the procedure, but then they
say, tell me what to do next, and we're just talking to them.
Shane Kimbrough: Especially when we're in the glove box.
We're immobile when we're in there.
We can't move around and do things.
Dennis Leveson-Gower: Yeah, and how do you read something when you're doing that?
Shane Kimbrough: Yeah, so it's very helpful to have you guys onboard.
Matthew Buffington: And for me, going back, one thing that occurred to me as you're dealing
with some, if it's a sensitive science experiment or the precious pizza cargo, I wonder, when
you're packing, obviously there's a little bit of Tetris, where you're trying to place
things into the cargo to be very efficient.
But it's also, launches are quite intense.
So I'd imagine, Dennis, I'd imagine things have to be durable enough to survive such
a crazy, extreme, launching, and then it's floating in space, and then the big robotic
arm that Shane's operating is grabbing it.
But then also, on the flipside, Shane, I'd imagine for you, being a human experiencing
that sensation as well.
But what goes into keeping things safe and packed in?
Dennis Leveson-Gower: Yeah, for especially things like the rodent habitat, we strap it
to a table and we vibrate the heck out of it.
It goes through launch impact testing, it gets put through temperatures, it goes through
pressurization, depressurization.
Anything like that goes through rigorous testing to make sure it stands up to things.
And then, it's usually packed in some foam, into a locker.
Then, it's put on a scale so that you can find the center of gravity of that hardware,
and also the weight and dimensions.
And then from that, some eggheads do some math, and some robots load it into the capsule
the right way so it's all balanced.
I don't understand all that part.
But, we just make sure that we've tested everything, whatever.
And I mean, it's pretty excessive.
Whatever could possibly go wrong, we test, worst-case, and then we treat it as gently
as possible.
And yeah, then wrap it up and ship it up.
Matthew Buffington: And how is that, Shane, from your perspective being the human inside
said rocket, vibrating and going through those intense pressures?
Shane Kimbrough: On the Soyuz, which is what I just flew on, I was very surprised on the
launch how smooth it was.
I had an experience on the space shuttle before, and it was rocking and rolling and shaking
around like you'd imagine, and you see in the movies.
But the Soyuz was super smooth.
We pulled about 3Gs going uphill, but the ride itself was very smooth.
I was very impressed.
Matthew Buffington: So, not only designing the experiments and getting them up, but you'd
mentioned before, Dennis, that it could take years in this process.
I'd imagine there's several experiments and ideas that never get into Shane's hands.
Or, great ideas that just, either it's funding or different things.
It's a competitive process, and everybody wants their cool science experiment to go
up.
Dennis Leveson-Gower: Yeah, no, we have a queue of investigators going out to 2022.
We're trying to get them flown off as fast as possible, but we're limited by launch vehicles
and crew time.
Crew time is becoming less of a concern, because we're getting an extra crew member up there.
But now it's launch vehicles, and you can only launch so many experiments at a time.
But, there's a whole list of reserve experiments, of people that have put their heart and soul
into something, and they just need 15 minutes of crew time, and they're just hoping their
experiment can get done.
Matthew Buffington: This is stuff that's already up there?
Dennis Leveson-Gower: I think they have over 100 experiments at a time on the ISS.
Shane Kimbrough: Yeah, I think we ended up doing 273, I was told, over the six months.
But yeah, at any one time, there can be over 100 onboard, that's about right.
Dennis Leveson-Gower: And I remember someone saying, Peggy's going to get every one of
those done.
She's going to work through the backlog.
Matthew Buffington: Singlehandedly.
Shane Kimbrough: We took out all the task list and all the things that were backlogged,
for sure.
So, it was nice.
Dennis Leveson-Gower: Yeah, a lot of people over here appreciate it when you guys give
up some of your free time and bang one of those experiments out.
Shane Kimbrough: Glad to do it.
Gary Jordan: That's true.
What else, besides if you were to take the weekend to unpack a cargo vehicle, what else
are you doing on the weekends?
Shane Kimbrough: Weekends, generally on Saturday mornings, it's spent cleaning.
So, it's like your house, about once a week you need to probably do a little cleaning.
So, we spend all Saturday morning vacuuming the whole station, wiping things down, and
just getting everything back in shape after usually a busy week.
And then, Saturday afternoons are generally off, and Sundays are generally off.
So, I'm a big sports fan, so I was usually watching games, whether it was football or
World Series or anything going on.
Tomas got us into watching rugby.
So, that was big in Europe at the time.
So, we got to watch some of those matches.
So, we do that as a crew sometimes, or sometimes individually you'd watch those things.
And you certainly can catch up on emails or watch movies or call home or any of those
things as well.
Or, you can just look out the window, which was always spectacular, something you can't
do here on earth.
So, I tried to do that more often, because I can always talk to people or email people
when I'm on earth, but I can't always look out the Kupla window for a rev around the
earth in 90 minutes.
That was pretty cool.
Matthew Buffington: I'm curious, how is that setup?
You don't have a normal weekend like you would.
It's not like you're commuting home and spending the weekend with your family.
You're sitting there floating in space, so there's never really a day off.
You're always on.
Shane Kimbrough: Correct.
So I had to, when I was the commander, I made it clear to my crew that we were going to
work from DBC to DBC, which is the morning conference with mission control all the way
to the evening conference with mission control, but we weren't going to work outside of that.
And there were a few exceptions on the weekends where we'd say, there's this one cargo vehicle,
for example, we want to unload.
Let's do two hours, and that's it.
We're going to work two hours together.
If you've got three people, that equates to about six hours of work.
And we can do a lot in two hours.
But I would make sure we weren't working all weekend, because as the commander, I've got
to make sure the crew is not exhausted, for one, so they can hit the next week's activities
when Monday starts.
But also, we've got to always be ready for that really bad day, an emergency onboard
the space station, where that's in the middle of the night or during the day.
The crew's got to be fresh enough to handle that.
So, I'm always thinking about that as I'm working the crew and the crew's being worked
by the ground.
And sometimes, we have to modify what they want us to do in order to keep our reserves,
so to speak, to be able to handle an emergency.
Gary Jordan: That's right.
So, as a commander, how much jurisdiction do you have on time, because I know they schedule
a lot of things for you, but then what power do you have as a commander?
Shane Kimbrough: Big picture, we'll talk.
I'll talk with the lead flight director usually before the week, or maybe even two weeks out.
We'll talk about the big picture, how things are going to flow, and what they want to get
done.
And then, the details just kind of flush out.
I don't really have too much influence on that.
I'll let the flight director know, here's what I want to focus on.
Make sure we get maybe a day here or there because we worked last weekend, and those
kind of things, because that happens a lot.
And then in general, if something's coming up real-time, day-of, maybe an experiment
or something is running twice as long as it was expected -- that happens.
And we'll just adjust real-time.
Maybe I'll take the activity that Peggy was supposed to do next, if she's buried in this
experiment, or vice versa.
We'll help each other out to get all the things done.
And you do that almost daily.
You get done with something early, you go help somebody else if you can, or else you
take something else off their timeline by knocking out something down the road for them.
Gary Jordan: Sounds like you guys were really tightknit.
You guys needed to be a really tight team to get all this stuff done.
Shane Kimbrough: Totally agree, and I was super fortunate to have Peggy and Tomas onboard
for about 90 percent of my time onboard.
I was with Kate [Rubins] and Takuya [Onishi] for only a week or so, unfortunately for me,
because they were superstars as well.
But, they left shortly after we got there.
So really, my whole mission was with Peggy and Tomas on the US side.
And we did really work well together.
We thought the same, our work ethic was the same, and we just loved helping each other
out and loved being around each other, which doesn't always happen.
So, I was very fortunate.
Gary Jordan: Very true.
That makes me -- getting back on track to the cargo stuff, I was actually thinking about,
we were talking a lot about when cargo comes up, how to get it, how to unpack it, but then,
there's a packing story, and they're different for each vehicle, because some of them just
burn up, some of them have experiments running before they burn up, and then some of them
actually come back.
What are some of the differences there?
Shane Kimbrough: Yeah, so we had all those.
The only one that comes back to earth, as you're probably aware, is SpaceX.
So, anything that's real critical experiment-wise, or even maybe broken equipment that engineers
want to get their hands on to figure out what happened to it, those kind of things we'll
put into SpaceX, so they can come back to the ground.
A lot of that has to do with experiments we did on our bodies -- blood draws and those
kind of things need to come back, as well as rodent research things will come back on
SpaceX, because the scientists need to recover them and look at the data and get all that
stuff.
That's one thing.
All the other vehicles in general burn up, like you mentioned.
So to me, I think of it, that's how we manage our trash.
That's how we manage trash on the space station.
We crate tons of trash, believe it or not, up there, whether it's food trash or clothes
trash or experiment trash or waste, human waste.
All that stuff needs to get off at some point.
And the way we do that is to use these cargo vehicles that are not coming back to earth.
And we can't just cram things in there, like you might think.
It's a very organized way.
And again, we'll get a plan from the ground team and mission control that lays out how
they want us to pack it.
And a lot of times there are experiments onboard that will happen once it leaves the space
station before it gets burned up, like you mentioned.
So, we've got to make sure certain aisle ways are clear, and the airflow is going to be
correct, so that those experiments can happen correctly.
Gary Jordan: I see.
So, it's kind of like a supply chain, really, because there needs to be new stuff sent up
to the International Space Station, and then you need to take some of the old stuff out.
That's the cycle that keeps the ISS going.
Shane Kimbrough: Correct.
And launch delays and things don't happen, and these launches aren't always happening
on time.
So, sometimes your trash backlog gets pretty high on the space station.
That's not a -- there are some odors and things that go along with that.
So, we always like to have vehicles coming frequently, so we can manage our trash, of
course along with doing great experiments as well.
Gary Jordan: But you guys have plenty of food and all that kind of stuff, right?
So, even if something gets delayed, you'll be set for a while, for at least a lot of
things.
Shane Kimbrough: Yeah.
I think they have about a six-month reserve onboard.
So, we can handle a lot of delays, I guess.
Gary Jordan: Dennis, on your end, when it comes to these experiments coming back to
earth, and especially on SpaceX, the ones you actually can get your hands on and don't
burn up, what are some of the things you're looking at for those?
Dennis Leveson-Gower: Looking at getting it back as quickly as possible is usually our
priority, especially with rodent experiments, cell science experiments.
You're trying to study the effects of microgravity on these organisms, and the minute you start
getting back into the earth's atmosphere, you're going to start to experience gravity
and see molecular changes.
So, the clock is ticking to try to get the samples back.
So in the future, hopefully return vehicles can land on solid ground, and we get the samples
back even faster.
Right now, it's taking about a day or two on a boat in the ocean.
But yeah, the priority's obviously for animal experiments, we want all of them alive and
happy.
And so far, we've done it twice and they have been.
JAXA has also done it twice.
All the mice did really well on return.
And, yeah, intact samples kept at the right stowage temperatures and everything, then
we're happy.
Matthew Buffington: On a similar note, and this is a slight pivot, but I love the little
catchphrase of working off the earth for the earth.
We've talked a lot about how it all happens, from an idea, an experiment, it's created,
it's packed, it's sent up, then you actually conduct it.
But, I'd love to pick your brain, Dennis and also Shane, of the why.
Why is doing experiments in microgravity important?
Clearly NASA and the international community is spending a lot of money to put this thing
up here.
And, what can we get out of that that you just can't do on the ground?
Dennis Leveson-Gower: Yeah, there's a lot that we can't do on the ground.
My bias is that we want to go to Mars, and we want to explore space, and we want to make
Star Trek real, so we should be figuring out what happens to our bodies, what happens to
physical processes on a cellular level, really understand the biology and what changes when
the vector of gravity is removed.
Of course, there is objectives to benefit the earth, as you say, and one prime example
is, you can't have forced bedrest of research animals, but if they're in space, all the
gravity load is off, and it will mimic conditions where people have extended bedrest or unloading
on their muscles.
You also, microgravity seems to have an accelerated aging effect, so you can look at age-related
factors.
You have fluid shifts, and basically high blood pressure in your brain, and that starts
affecting the astronauts' vision and things like that, and we want to understand how that
works.
So, you have a lot of, like, growing 3D tissues in the lab.
To be able to do those kind of things, you may be able to do them better in space, and
understand the processes better in space.
And I think it directly translates into, benefits the earth.
Sometimes, you have to connect the dots a little bit to see how that space research
affects the ground, but if you look at every experiment we've done, it always has spin-off
benefits.
Shane Kimbrough: Tough to add much to that.
It's very true.
The way I look at it is, everything we do up there is either for future exploration,
like Dennis mentioned, or it's to help humanity in general.
If we're not doing that, I think we're really missing the boat.
But everything we touch up there and I've been involved with has met one of those two criteria
One example I like to think of is, we have this machine up there that makes water.
It takes every bit of liquid onboard the space station, from urine to sweat to condensation
to anything, and it goes into this machine and it makes water that's extremely pure that
we use for our food and our drinks the next day, so to speak.
It's a great technology for us to have.
It's not something we have to have for the space station, but we will have to have something
like that for Mars, or the moon, or wherever we're going to go deep space.
So, we're working on that now for future exploration.
A side benefit of this whole thing is, we actually use that technology on earth as well.
There's third-world countries that don't have clean water supplies, and the same technology
is helping them get clean water.
That's really a cool thing when you're helping future exploration and you're helping humanity.
Gary Jordan: Yeah, especially with, that's just one example, right?
That's one thing on the station that's helping in both directions.
Matt, I think that's a really good place to end the podcast.
Matthew Buffington: I think that's perfect, dude.
Gary Jordan: I think that's fantastic, because it kind of sums up why do we do all the science,
and why the science goes up and down to the International Space Station.
Guys, thanks so much for coming on the show, both to Shane and Dennis for coming on Houston
We Have a Podcast and NASA in Silicon Valley, the first time we're doing this together.
Matt, I really hope we can do this again.
Matthew Buffington: With our powers combined, it works out.
Thanks a lot for helping pull this together.
This has been a lot of fun.
Gary Jordan: Yeah, absolutely.
Thanks, guys.
Shane Kimbrough: It was great, thanks everybody.
Dennis Leveson-Gower: Thanks for having me.
Matthew Buffington: Huge thanks to Dennis and Shane.
Awesome.

Cold Steel Hold Out I Knife Review. PROOF A Clip Point is more better for Slow Mo. - Duration: 11:18.
Why anyone would ever make Youtube videos about Cold Steel knives other than Cold Steel
is beyond me.
The perfect Cold Steel Hold Out 1 video is already on the official product Page where
it chops meat on ropes set to corporate metal.
So put on your best dress shirt and widest tie while we fantasize about all the inanimate
objects and 511 Tactical boots we can stab and slash with the Cold Steel Holdout I.
Like the overall length and weight (my length is different than cold steels).
The blade size and cutting edge, I have the real measurements for the unaltered blade
in parentheses.
The handle size and grip area.
Spine thickness and handle thickness.
And tallness closed.
The Cold Steel Holdout I is a real special knife, made even more special by someone who
thought it needed to be a clippoint.
Instagramer Headin sent me this, and he swears that he wasn't the one who tried to modify
it- it was someone before him.
So if you believe that then I'm probably the third owner of the knife.
This Hold Out comes in several sizes, the real size like this, and the other ones for
people scared their own shadow.
This Holdout One is a made in Taiwan knife that retails for about $140 and uses CTS-XHP
for it's flat ground normally spear point blade.
The blade is made from fairly thin stock and is much lighter that you may think 6 inches
of death might feel in your pocket.
It sharpens very easily and it only took a few minutes to get it whipped back into shape
on my Spyderco sharpmaker.
The tip is bent a bit, and I'm not sure if it was me... it may have been the other owners,
but it was probably me.
I think I may have accidentally pried with it at one point.
Don't pry with it.
The blade is locked into place by the stout as shit Tri-Ad lock.
Which is Cold Steel for Lock Back.
But don't take my word for it, take for example what this log has to say.
This is my second cold steel- the other being my Frenzy, and I couldnt get that lock to
fold either.
This one is best closed two handed, as the tri-ad on this isnt quite as smooth as my
Frenzy Tri-Ad.
The deployment is nice though and its easy to do one handed, you can flick it open with
some hard wrist action, I would assume most viewers are familiar with or just flick the
thumb studs.
While the knife shouldnt open in your pocket, its safe to say it doesnt have the strongest
detent- probably because it would be way less tactical.
The handle is made from G10, and theres basically room for two of your cold dead hands or maybe
one for you and one for a buddy.
The hand is comfortable I guess..
I found no hot spots, its just big and long.
I think that has a nice ring to it for their slogan.
Cold Steel.
Big and Long Motherfucker.
Ill run that by their marketing department.
That said, the holes in the handle I guess save weight.
Theres no liner just two slabs of G10 joined together by a backspacer and screws which
I managed to knock most of out.
I assume since someone removed the blade at one point, my screws were a little loose.
Now when playing Fallout theres a weapon that you can carry on you unnoticed called a Hold
Out weapon� in video game logic its a weapon that I guess no feels during a cavity search.
In the real world Cold Steel logic I guess the Hold out is technically a concealable
weapon too.
You or I may not agree, or maybe you do agree that this is a pocketable blade and if you
have deep pockets it is in theory.
Again something Id never carry, but the pocket clip is reversible to the right or left side
in a tip up configuration only.
So yeah tactical.
Lets compare the Hold Out to a few other knives before I wrap it up.
Ok so this is the holdout.
How about something equally ridiculous the Spyderco K2, a since discontinued knife with
a similar slim profile but titanium and slimmer.
I dont use this knife much either, but something deep within me loves it.
How about the Cold Steel frenzy, a smaller every day carry I assume?
Simlar in construction..
G10, no liners Tri Ad To some people it may be more reasonable.
Oh and how about my Junglas II Oh the Cold steel looks so cute!
Now your familiar with the Proof video right?
I dont know what that really means other than it proves Cold Steel is a knife company with
real good taste in public domain hard rock So lets do it up like the Hold Out is a metaphor
for the evolution of man.
Youre like I dont get it- what do the moneys have to do with space.
And remember folks, this is not safe, will possible damage your knife and result in the
loss of life and limb, and possibly your dick if you dont watch where you deploy it.
Ok lets crack open a cold one with a Cold one.
Ok so that about does it.
Big Cold Steels are a knife made for a certain type of bro or lady.
Theyre fun and cool like drugs, but not for everyone.
Most of these give me laughs but theyre too big to pocket or bag carry for me.
I prefer mid 3 inchers, but theres nothing wrong with liking mid 5 or six inchers either.
I guess it comes down to if you need a weapon or a tool.
Thanks to headin for providing some of his unwanted knives for me to beat the crap out
of.
I dont know if you should follow him on Instagram or not- he didnt ask anything out of me but
follow him unless he says not to here.

Ewangeliarz OP - 28 listopada 2017 - (Łk 21, 5-11) - Duration: 2:37.
[music]
There is not one end of the world - in fact, there is many of them.
The reason being my world and your world are variable.
It is something that will collapse from time to time, and from these ruins God will raise it again.
Yes, there are many ends of the world.
When certain beliefs, when certain likings, when certain arrangements
in my relationships, values what feed my happiness suddenly disappear.
Suddenly I find myself in a completely different situation. My world has fallen apart. Someone betrayed me, someone abandoned me.
Or I do not recognize myself by what I did, by some of my sins.
A world is coming to an end and God will create a new one from these ruins .
This will often be happening in a scary aura,
as it seems to me I will die, if I have lost this man, if I have lost this way of experiencing God,
or a way of living the faith that was important to me and feeding me and suddenly it is not there anymore, it is the end of the world.
Many of these ends of the world, my world, are yet to come - but all this is under God's care.
And all this leads to ever greater freedom, to ever greater maturity,
And ultimately, it leads us to accept this 100% real end of the world - our physical death.

A Detailed History of Meghan Markle's And Prince Harry Relationship I CNFtv - Duration: 4:02.
Prince Harry Britain's most eligible bachelor is no longer quite so eligible following the announcement of his engagement
to California born actress and United Nations advocate Megan Markel the newly engaged
Pair who revealed their engagement on Northpoint?
2/7 dated for at least 15 months before Prince Harry popped the question
Despite having them relationship under heavy scrutiny by the international press
The couple has made valiant attempt at keeping their romance as private as possible
Appearing in public just a handful of times together since confirming their union
Here's what you need to know about the royal relationship on everyone's lips how did Prince Harry and Megan Markel meet?
Prince Harry
33 and Los Angeles born Markel
36 met for the first time in London in July 2016 when they were introduced by a mutual friend
Mark were confirmed in an interview with Vanity Fair in September how long have Prince Harry and Megan marquel dated a
Close friend of Harry's confirmed to people in late October 2016 that the pair had been dating seriously for around two months
Meaning as of November 2017 the pair have been together for roughly 15
months when half prince harry and megan Markel appeared together in public
Prince Harry and Marco were photographed in public together for the first time in December 2016
Shopping for a Christmas tree at the pines and needles store in London a few days later
They were spotted while on a date to see the hit play the Curious Incident of the dog in the night-time
in London's West End the week before Harry had made a
1700 mile detour from his tour of the Caribbean to visit mark on her Toronto home
That day after picking her up from London after the ceremony in March
Mark will joined Prince Harry at a wedding in Jamaica for one of his close friends
What have they said about each other?
Mark will commented on her relationship for the first time in September
In her interview with Vanity Fair in which he referred to Harry as her boyfriend
numerous times
We're couple she told the magazine
We're in love
I'm sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell
But I hope what people will understand is that this is our time
She added this is for us. It's part of what makes it so special that it's just ours, but we're happy
Personally I love a great love story
Prince Harry has not commented about the relationship quite as candidly as Markel however
He did tell competitors that the Invictus games in September that his girlfriend was loving the event
What will Prince Harry and Marcos wedding be like the event will take place in spring 2018?
But details about the nuptials remain under wraps Prince Harry and Mark
What could opt for a large royal wedding like Prince William and Duchess Kate's?
2011 nuptials or choose a low-key ceremony's somewhere outside of London such as st.
George's Chapel at Windsor Castle where Harry's father Prince Charles had a service of blessing with his second wife Camilla parker-bowles
in
2005 as for the honeymoon antique was Prime Minister
Invited Harry to spend his honeymoon on the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbuda during a visit in November
2016 making the Royal turn bright red
according to sources on the ground
Sadly the islands were badly hit by this year's hurricane season so the royal couple might have to look elsewhere

The Power of Habit One of the most Motivational Talks Ever - Duration: 10:14.
I just did a podcast on habits right how to be able to adopt new habits and also
delete and get rid of you know break bad habits right and so a lot of people
always wanted to make it usually make a change on behavior they want to get
themselves to workout they want to get them as a meditate they want to get
themselves to read more each day and they want to get themselves to X right
or they want to stop some behavior they want to stop smoking they want to stop
eating this food they want to stop I always tell people stop checking your
phone in the first hour of the day I love and I and I just that's like sacred
time for me you know because I for me that's for I think that if you want to
be an elite mental performer or you know real-life superhero you don't want to
start off by checking the phone we talked about this in the past because
you're training yourself to be reactive right you're getting your dopamine
you're frying your nervous system with all these likes shares comments and
everything else like that that you've said if I'm not mistaken you sell your
sovereignty weed if you start by checking your phone I love that so much
because you're reacting and firefighting to everyone's like well I've been
thinking everyone wants so you're not really setting you're not living you
know that it's you've heard this many times right if you want to you in the
first hour of the day to win the rest you know they will even with room in the
day right and so anything you want to stop so I say you must stop checking
your phone right in the morning then there's certain like that's a behavior
right but there's so many other elements to be able to change because some most
behaviors don't stick right and so like what I'm thinking about when I want to
transform or transcend or make a real positive change I'm looking all the
other areas of ourself so I'm looking at for example our environment our people
setting up their environment to win and no social change doesn't just happen at
this level of behavior but what you have to change the environment so for example
if you want to stop eating a certain food it helps to be able to have not
that not have that food in your home right so you change the environment if
you want to read more it helps to help set up your environment where you have
the books readily available where you're gonna read it cuz they perform you know
how I how I approached habit change is this area of motivation and this trigger
right you want to trigger it to help remind you to do the behavior right so
are you setting up the environment in a way that triggers the behavior that you
want that's why you know people like Mark Zuckerberg or Tony Hsieh
we're the same t-shirts and and sweatshirts all the time because they
don't want to spend you know use up one of their decisions thinking all what am
I gonna wear today I don't want someone's watching this
they have a thing that something they want to change and it's not it's not
sticking then maybe it's not the environment maybe you check about your
habits but maybe it's your beliefs and your values some people will not get
themselves to read every day because they don't value reading every single
day right some people won't say the behavior they want change is you know we
did a podcast on how to remember names I could teach them step by step on how to
remember the name of the most people that they meet yet they won't do it
because they don't value it or because that's not important to them or they
don't believe that they can write just like we talked about earlier saying your
brain is like a supercomputer and you know your self-talk as a programmer run
so you tell yourself not go to runner names you will not be named there's
person to me because you program you're super duper you're not - they don't have
a belief that enables that when I say all behaviors believe driven if you want
to do this behavior whatever it is journal whatever it is and you need a
belief that allows that to happen because that's the program that allows
so how do you get that belief because you're gonna feel like you're faking it
right that's where most people stop right they they think okay I get it I
hear what you were saying that if I am able to shift my belief then I can get a
different behavior but I don't believe it
so now I'm just sort of faking it how do you help people overcome it right and so
you mean so some people approach it by thinking on its quote where they fake it
til they make it right um so my thing with belief is like when I do trainings
and groups or online my favourite way of changing the belief is getting them to
do something they never thought they could do because it opens up another
possibility right so so for example in 1954 Roger Bannister he broke the
four-minute mile right and so which is amazing right throughout human history
nobody can run a mile less than four minutes now if you if you look into it
how he was able to do it is he would visualize himself crossing the finish
line looking at the clock and it says 359 because he knew that success is an
inside-out process that first it had to happen in here in order for apt and out
there right um dr. Wayne Dyer has the famous phrase where it's not oh I'll
believe it when I see it's like I'll see it when I believe it
because it's the opposite right and so I've always liked modeling the outliers
where most people kind of just like kind of dismiss them I was like well what's
what's going on there that loves this person to get this kind of results right
and so with Roger Bannister he saw it in here be able to produce it outside just
like any innovator or and mentor right or any creator right but what was
interesting is after that would happen nobody could do it from the beginning of
humanity all of a sudden one person does it what happens after that everybody
yeah everyone starts doing it and so that's the thing now what happened was
there big change that year and you know training methodology and nutrition or
know who's a change of belief right because the belief back then was if you
ran a mile list the four minutes not only would you die it was your heart
would explode in your chest and like think about like that would and I'm a
runner right that would keep me not just running that would keep me for money
performance that would keep me from running period right right and so my
thing is like that was a change of a reference I woke up a belief so my goal
with people and when it comes to learning is get themselves to do
something they never thought they could do and then it opens up another
possibility it literally opens up their their nervous system for something what
else could be possible now I would also say that it all plays together where
it's not easy to say just a change a belief overnight and now that could be a
belief it's like a meta belief about what beliefs are but people there's
there's technologies like Inception right like a dream of a dream your dream
but I do believe that we have more we have more power to influence our
thoughts and our beliefs so my goal is to streamline my
I put the routines the first hour day and the last hour today I really
micromanage it's at a point where it's vitual I don't even have to think about
it and then because those are the times of day where I can really have the most
impact because later on it all day you know team members need this there's
firefighting that this client needs that but the first hour the last hour I
really want to control so all this really helped develop grit and
resilience you know in my body so I could have the ability to persevere you
know so I stand guard to my brain all the time what goes in and I don't watch
like a lot of the negative news and all the marketing I really focus like you
know I watch and I listen to your show and maybe a handful of little of things
I read each day because I need to keep it positive
I want hope and I'm looking for help I'm looking for inspiration and also
instruction alright listen and listen well because no truer words are ever
gonna be fucking spoken you can do anything you want without limitation
whatever it is that you decide you want to make come true in your life you can
do that it is gonna take an inhuman amount of work you're gonna have to be
prepared to break yourself in half you are going to have to learn more than
anyone has ever learned you're gonna have to push yourself harder than anyone
has ever asked you to push yourself before you're gonna go way beyond your
breaking point you're gonna run until you vomit you're gonna study until you
fall asleep you're going to push and push and push and then you're gonna push
some fucking more and when you hit the limit you're gonna push again beyond
that you're gonna force yourself to an adaptation response and why because it's
Malcolm X said the future belongs to those who prepare for it today so if you
don't put the work in today if you don't do the unending back-breaking work of
developing yourself into something greater the world is gonna pass you by
the people that are going to own it are going to be the ones that did
that work and the one promise that I can make you right now is that somebody
somebody out there is out working in somebody right now is doing the things
that I'm saying somebody right now is doing the work of failing and getting up
and getting better and pushing themselves and triggering that glorious
adaptation response that makes humans the apex predator someone right now
they're putting in that work and if you don't the future is gonna belong to them
and as Martin Luther King jr. said you can't fly then one if you can't run then
walk if you can't walk then crawl but whatever you do you have to keep moving
forward it's not okay to make excuses it's not gonna slow people down it's not
okay to ask the world to stop so that you can step out front it's not okay to
expect little of yourself and demand great rewards the only thing that's okay
is to be in line with the way that the world really works and if you want to be
great you've got to become capable of greatness you've got to develop your
skill set you've got to take what you have now
and if that's crawling than fucking crawl but you drag yourself ever forward
to a vision of yourself that is so clear and so specific that nothing could knock
you off your path because you my friends know exactly where you're going you're
willing to pay whatever price it takes to get there and no matter what anybody
says no matter how many fucking hecklers come for you no matter how many people
try to flow dirt on you try to stop you try to knock you down no matter how many
fucking people come for you at night while you sleep you will rise and you
will keep pushing forward and you would get better every day and no matter how
many times people chop at you knocking down knock you up the path we will get
back on you will crawl so you can walk you will walk till you run and then you
will run until you fly and that to my friends is the only path forward so if
you want a fucking future that makes you happy if you want a world that you're
excited about get your ass out there and earn it

"My Future Self Will Hate Me." (original song) - Duration: 1:46.
It can be kinda fun, to look back at how you changed
But if you were a cringy kid, memories may feel like chains
You want to forget, hide that phase behind closed doors
But do you really think you're better than before?
When I'm grown up I'll hate myself, My past thoughts and feelings put on a shelf.
With my cringy songs, and weird fandoms, My bad fanart, and my stupid problems.
But hey now go ahead and cringe, At your past self and your past sins,
Just remember that when you're older The love of your current self will smolder.
When I'm grown up I'll hate myself, My past thoughts and feelings put on a shelf.
With my cringy songs, and weird fandoms, My bad fanart, and my stupid problems.
When you're old, You'll look back at your life,
Hopefully, you'll won't just see, problems and strife,
Perhaps when you're old and wrinkled When your eyes don't quite twinkle,
Maybe you won't hate yourself But I know
When I'm grown up I'll hate myself, My past thoughts and feelings put on a shelf.
With my cringy songs, and weird fandoms, My bad fanart, and my stupid problems.

5 Easy Ways To Detox Your Body And Home - Duration: 5:24.
Hey guys! It's Khadijah aka the oily geek and I'm coming to you today because I'm going to
talk to you about some easy ways that you can lower and detox your body. So the
first thing I want to talk about is how do you know if you are possibly
suffering from toxin overload. Our body lets us know our body gives us symptoms.
It could be you're having trouble sleeping. Maybe you're having trouble
losing weight? Maybe you're breaking out in rashes? It
can be allergies? There's so many different signs of toxic overload. I
like to think of it like when our body is like an empty glass and we go out in
the world and we're exposed to things every single day. So let's say, let's do
this, let's say you're standing in line and you're you're talking to your friend
and they smoke and you're and you're inhaling that. So here's a little bit.
Then let's say you use some bleach to clean because it's not clean unless you
use bleach right? And then let's say um you like this certain shampoo and has
formaldehyde in it but you didn't know it? Then let's also say that maybe
your laundry detergent isn't really the best? Well now here we are and it's
already full now. If I put any more water on this it's just gonna... Well that's what
happens when you start having symptoms. If you don't pay attention to those
symptoms it turns into something even more. It turns into a disease. And then
you have some people who their body has a hard time getting rid of
the toxins like my son Ayden. He has a gene mutation it's called MTHFR. He
has a hard time detoxing things out of his system because his body can only
break down the natural form of folic acid which is folate. Folic acid is
actually a synthetic form of folate. Ayden's body can't handle the synthetic
form and B vitamins and folate is how our body breaks down and gets rid of the
toxins. So what can we do to get the toxins out? Number one, drink more water
and the best way to do it is to drink water with lemon vitality oil in it
because that'll help flush everything out. Second thing you can do is eat well.
Pick, make good choices with your food. I'm talking about organic, grass-fed,
green, leafy vegetables. Stay away from processed food. The third you can
do is support your liver, support your liver. There are loads of
supplements and things you can use. Oils you can use to support your liver. Check your
supplements. Check your supplements because if you're having an issue
detoxing you want to make sure that you don't have an issue with folic acid
versus folate because according to a lot of doctors out there this is actually a
lot more prevalent, this MTHFR thing, is a lot more prevalent than people think. You
know, I have it, my sons have it. You wouldn't believe how many people are
coming forward. It's like I have this. I have this. I have this. So just look into that
and uh use natural care products. If you are thinking that the things you're
putting on your skin and the things you're using to clean,
do not affect you you are sadly sadly mistaken.
This, our skin, is the largest organ on our body. If you were to put a piece
of garlic in between your toes at night and wake up in the morning, your breath
is going to taste, your mouth, is going to have a very strong taste of garlic.
That is how our body is made to work so you can't think that you're
going to continue to use all different types of toxins and that it's
not going to seep in. That it's not going to start to affect your different body
systems. Okay so those are the ways that you can detox your body. Get this stuff
out. Okay. any questions, concerns, comments? I love to hear from you and please like,
subscribe and share. Love you, bye.

📢 Did David & Evelyn Start Flirting When She Was 15?😙90 Day Fiance - Duration: 6:56.
When we first introduced you to the stars of this season of 90 Day Fiance , we mentioned that
Evelyn and David had a lot of potential for drama.
As it turns out, we were more right than we knew.
Beware, as there are spoilers below as we talk about this couple's relationship, what
makes Evelyn so hated by fans, and the creepy thing about David that might make you rethink
everything about this couple.
The first thing to catch your attention about Evelyn and David is that, well, these two
aren't exactly the same age.
At one point on 90 Day Fiance , Evelyn acknowledges to her friend Mikayla that she and David
are marrying young, saying:
"Since we are getting married young, we have the opportunity to grow together.
Mikayla corrects her:
"I'm sorry; you're getting married young; David is getting married at a normal age."
Because Evelyn is 18 years old and David is 27. Their actual age difference is about 8
years, which wouldn't be a big deal if Evelyn weren't a teenager.
But she is , so ... the age difference alone is enough to cause a lot of people to eye
this couple askance.
Evelyn is from New England and David is from Grenada, Spain.
The two share conservative Christian viewpoints, and both say that they've been saving themselves
for marriage.
And, like so many people who eschew premarital sex, they appear to be rushing into marriage.
Evelyn admitted to her friend Mikayla that she and David would be married before their
1-year anniversary.
You can't blame that on the 90 day K-1 visa process.
Though they bonded over their faith, it was always Evelyn's looks that first drew them
to begin talking.
That sounded like a cute story -- cultural differences and distance being no match for
thirst -- except that, well, Evelyn's age is an issue.
Take a look at this screencap of David and Evelyn's oldest known interaction:
If Evelyn is 18 now ... does that mean that David started commenting on her Instagram
page when she was only 15?
Even if Evelyn is 19 now (sometimes it's hard to confirm exact birthdays), she'd have been,
at the oldest, 16. Just barely meeting the age minimum in Spain but not even meeting
that in the US.
Best case scenario, you'd think that David and Evelyn struck up a friendship (social
media has plenty of perfectly innocent friendships between people of different ages) based upon
their shared religious views, and that romance came later.
But we've always known that David's attraction to Evelyn was what first got them talking.
(We're guessing that, when they admitted as much, they didn't think that fans might look
into their history together and crunch some very easy numbers)
So it seems more likely that David thirsted after her when she was probably 15, and that
he then used their shared conservative faith to flirt with her.
That's ... weird. Most of us who are adults (and David would have been 24 at the time,
right?) are conscious of potential age differences.
(If I'm livetweeting a show, I make a habit of googling a young-looking actor's age before
tweeting about which characters are hot or not. Those actors usually turn out to be well
into their 20s, but it doesn't hurt to check)
And some fans are wondering if perhaps David struck up a "friendship" with Evelyn only
to begin grooming her to be his bride.
Nobody wants to believe that of another human being, but we know that there are predators
out there who do that every day. And they'll absolutely use anything -- religion included
-- to help them seal the deal.
Of course, as we've seen on 90 Day Fiance , David might be regretting pursuing a teenage
girl.
Because while some older guys who hook up with barely legal teens use the excuse that
their younger girlfriend is "super mature for her age," no one can honestly say that
about Evelyn.
Many fans find Evelyn to be utterly insufferable.
She and David argue in person, on camera. They also argued over the phone back when
they were in a long-distance relationship (a relationship that many now believe must
have begun when Evelyn was still a minor).
Evelyn had some very specific plans about how she wanted to have her wedding and came
across as a total Bridezilla on 90 Day Fiance , shooting down David's ideas and requests
and his pleas for the finances of his groomsmen.
For example, Evelyn wanted the groomsmen to wear tuxedos. David protests that this isn't
the norm in Spain, and suggests that his friends -- who are already spending a great deal of
money to fly out for the wedding -- could perhaps dress nicely in black and white instead.
It's not so much that Evelyn shoots this down as that she doesn't seem to care about David's
thoughts on the matter. In fact, it seems like she sees this as a personal attack or
an attempt to "be difficult" rather than, you know, a valid financial concern.
Evelyn, in general, does not seem to hold realistic ideas about money. Even for an 18-year-old.
Evelyn tells her friend Mikayla that she is confident that God will provide her and David
with work and money, which is not a confidence-inspiring statement.
Despite the overwhelming disapproval of fans, despite the concerns of her friends, despite
all of the arguments, despite the shady age difference ... Starcasm reports that Evelyn
and David got married .
Interestingly, they appear to have gotten married on the 21st of October. That would
be exactly three years after David made that comment, screencapped above, on Evelyn's timeline.
It's worth noting that since both of them said that they were saving themselves, sexually,
for their wedding night, there's no telling how their marriage is going.
Some people who come from heavily religious, sex-negative religious backgrounds have difficulties
transitioning into having a sex life.
A lot of people who are abstaining until marriage are eager to get married as soon as possible
(because, well, they want to have sex), only to find that their bodies aren't cooperative
because of so many years repressing their urges.
(Yeah, this is real -- read some accounts from people who grew up like this, folks)
It's hard to wish a couple well when the man seems like a predator and the woman seems
to be entirely unlikable, but there's a chance that we could see them again on another season
of 90 Day Fiance .
It will be interesting to see how things go for them. And for all of the couples.

Ewangeliarz OP - 28 listopada 2017 - (Łk 21, 5-11) - Duration: 2:37.
[music]
There is not one end of the world - in fact, there is many of them.
The reason being my world and your world are variable.
It is something that will collapse from time to time, and from these ruins God will raise it again.
Yes, there are many ends of the world.
When certain beliefs, when certain likings, when certain arrangements
in my relationships, values what feed my happiness suddenly disappear.
Suddenly I find myself in a completely different situation. My world has fallen apart. Someone betrayed me, someone abandoned me.
Or I do not recognize myself by what I did, by some of my sins.
A world is coming to an end and God will create a new one from these ruins .
This will often be happening in a scary aura,
as it seems to me I will die, if I have lost this man, if I have lost this way of experiencing God,
or a way of living the faith that was important to me and feeding me and suddenly it is not there anymore, it is the end of the world.
Many of these ends of the world, my world, are yet to come - but all this is under God's care.
And all this leads to ever greater freedom, to ever greater maturity,
And ultimately, it leads us to accept this 100% real end of the world - our physical death.
